![]() ![]() ![]() This is the most widely used group of greases. Most often they are labeled as Anti-Seize. They are used to lubricate mating parts of brake pads and anti-creak plates. Greases that can withstand exposure to high temperatures, their main property is anti-seize.However, brakes are too critical a mechanism to be greased with anything.Īll greases for calipers are divided into three categories depending on the purpose of their application: Molykote brand produces caliper lubricants under the Dow Corning Corp brand.Kluber Lubricarion Munchen KG, also on sale there are all groups of greases for brake calipers.May be marketed under the Huskey and Slipkote brands. Known under the brand name HUSK-ITT Corp, they produce a full range of caliper lubricants. Here are some of the main brands that produce greases of interest to us: Sometimes they are taken under the wing of car manufacturers. In order to sell their products, caliper grease companies sign contracts with either well-known brands of greases or brands that produce spare parts for brake systems. To do this, you need to work with other materials, as well as have the appropriate equipment. In most cases, brands that make classic lubes do not make caliper lubes. Who produces greases for calipers, lubricant groups The composition must be compatible with all types of elastomers used in brake mechanisms (rubbers based on propylene, ethylene, ethylene-propylene copolymers).The lubricant must not be dissolved by brake fluid and water, as well as road chemicals.Lubrication should not be aggressive towards rubber parts (guide boots, brake piston boot and cuffs).The melting point of the grease must be above 500 ☌.If we do not want the brakes to fail at the most crucial moment, caliper greases must meet certain requirements: Thanks to the massive design of the caliper, heat is evenly distributed throughout the mechanism, and at the points farthest from the pads, the temperature reaches a maximum of 200-250 degrees. In fairness, it must be said that such a high temperature occurs only in the friction zone of the friction lining of the brake pad on the brake disc. The dropping point of standard greases does not exceed 60-70 ☌.Ĭalipers from time to time warm up to 500-600 ☌, respectively, the usual lubricant will flow out of the assembly without a trace at the first heating. Standard greases, graphite grease, any general-purpose grease are not suitable for use in brake calipers. ![]()
